trumps lawyers in trouble for lying to congress. Sheri Dillon and Stefan Passantino are named as the two attorneys who might have made false statements to the Office of Government Ethics

The House Oversight Committee says it has docs showing Trump attorneys may have lied to gov't ethics officials about Michael Cohen's hush money payments.

Cummings wants to know why advisers made false claims and whether it was at the direction of Trump.

Manafort and the $1m missing money
A super PAC closely linked to Paul Manafort is facing FEC scrutiny over why it failed to report a $1 million contribution received just before the 2016 presidential election. Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Rebuilding America Now illegally received foreign funds and was connected to a scheme that Manafort allegedly lied about while purportedly cooperating with Mueller.

Follow the money

Interesting that Pence supported this PAC

Now that Whitaker isn't acting Attorney General, and now that the House Judiciary Committee publicly informed Matt Whitaker that it had found proof he was lying when he claimed under oath that he had never discussed the Robert Mueller probe with trump, trump has done his usual, finding a 'job' for his underling in trouble. Pressure to keep his mouth shut?

trump has hired Whitaker permanently as a “senior counselor” at the Department of Justice. One wonders if like Schiller and Omarosa Onee Manigault Newman, the salary offered was $15k a month for no or very little work?

Landowners in Texas have already filed a challenge against trumps nation emergency
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/fi...

The NY times point out that: Courts have been grappling for at least a decade with lawsuits involving the Secure Fence Act of 2006, legislation passed under former President George W. Bush that authorized the construction of about 700 miles of barriers and fencing along the border with Mexico. Dozens of lawsuits filed by property owners challenging that project are still unresolved.

He's just tweeted this.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1096485...

This man is the President of the United States, and he engages in teenage mean girl level social media.
It’s hard to even know what to say really.

I feel really sorry for Americans that they are being humiliated daily by this tt.
It’s now saying the Tweet has been deleted; what did it say?

Oh well, just chill and remember that federal prosecutors are asking a judge to put Trump's Campaign Manager in prison for life

35 indictments so far, including Trump’s campaign chairman, lawyer, and national security adviser in less than two years.

trumps going to rob the military for his money to build a wall.

Using a national emergency declaration, Trump intends to draw $3.6 billion from already appropriated military construction funds that go to purposes as diverse as building hospitals on bases and overhauling barracks housing.

biggrin Adam Schiff today

Adam Schiff
@RepAdamSchiff

The Court: The President said he didn’t need to declare an emergency, did he not?
Counsel: Correct.

The Court: And that he just did so because he wanted it done faster?
Counsel: Yes, your honor.

The Court: How on earth is that an emergency?
Counsel: Hasn’t your time expired?
